Hello Travelers and fellow Triathletes!

Total Body Fitness is going to Phuket, (the largest island in Thailand) again this year for the 13th annual Laguna Phuket Triathlon. The event features a 1.8K swim – 55K bike – 12K run course. Let me tell you a little about who we are and why you should consider us for this adventure vacation to Thailand.

TBF
Since 1991 Total Body Fitness has been training and traveling with athletes to multi-sport events. As the marathon coaches for the Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program for five years, we traveled with marathon runners to compete at the Honolulu, Anchorage, Catalina, Humboldt, San Francisco, Big Sur, and California International marathons – sometimes with as many as 100 athletes! From 1995 to 2002 we trained over a thousand triathletes to compete in the Wildflower Triathlon Festival – with its three different length triathlons, and then spent 6 days camping, coaching and counseling them to Top Five Finishes four years in a row in the Tri-Club Team Competition. In 1998 and 1999 we took over 50 athletes to Paris to compete in the Paris Marathon and began our luxury multi-sport travel business. We have been traveling to Thailand ever since 2000 – not only for the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, but also because we have fallen in love with the country, its people, its beaches, islands and jungles, and its food. My business partner Mark and I are both USAT Certified Triathlon Coaches and ACE Certified Personal Trainers with 6 IRONMAN races between us. My wife and I lead every trip to Thailand.

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Thailand!   What could be better than going there AND doing a triathlon!

I do have a feeling that airfare isn't included in this package. Plus the flight is 35+ hours from Boston I think.  I can always dream though.

I feel compelled to give my two cents worth here.

I absolutely adore the TBF folks.  Bill Driskell and the rest of the TBF crew are amazing.  The races they put on are top-notch.  I have never gone on their Thailand adventure, but if it's anything like their races in NorCal, which I'm sure it is, it's got to be a great time.
